1 The Human Spinal Disc: Relevant Anatomy and Physiology
Julien Tremblay Gravel, Fahad H. Abduljabbar, Jean Ouellet, and Lisbet Haglund
Abstract The intervertebral disc (IVD) is a well-engineered avascular fibrocartilaginous organ designed to unite two adjacent verte­bral bodies. Its anatomical and physiological properties provide constrained motion and force dissipation while maintaining the mechanical stability of the spine. The IVD is divided into two main sections: the annulus fibrosus (AF) and the nucleus pulpo­sus (NP). The NPs structure is of gelatinous consistency and has a high concentration of aggrecan and water that enable it to resist compression. As the spine is axially loaded, the forces are dissipated via the NP and the lamina of the AF.
Keywords: anatomy, biomechanics, intervertebral disc, spine
1.1 The Vertebral Column
The vertebral column is part of the axial skeleton; it is com­posed of 33 vertebral bodies that connect the skull base to the pelvis. It is divided into five regions: cervical (7 vertebrae), thoracic (12 vertebrae), lumbar (5 vertebrae), sacral (5 verte­brae), and coccygeal (4 vertebrae). The vertebral bodies are named in the cervical region C1–C7, in the thoracic region T1–T12, and in the lumbar region L1–L5. In the coronal plane the spine is straight, yet in the sagittal plane the spine has pri­mary and secondary curves (Fig. 1.1). The primary curvatures consist of the thoracic and sacral kyphosis. As we learn to sit and stand, the secondary curves take shape, giving rise to the cervical and lumbar lordosis. These cur ves are important for absorbing forces, maintaining balance, and allowing a range of motion throughout the vertebral column. Motion within the vertebral column varies between each spinal segment. The greatest freedom of motion is found in the cervical and lumbar segments and the most restrained motion is found in the thora­cic and sacral segments as they are constrained by the ribs and pelvis. Each vertebra is composed of the vertebral body anteri­orly and vertebral arch posteriorly. Each vertebral segment has a spinal canal and two intervertebral foramina, formed by the bony structures of the posterior arch. These structures provide a protected passage for the spinal cord and nerve roots, respec­tively. The vertebrae also serve as anchor points for the rib cage posteriorly, which helps protect the thoracic cavity organs. The vertebral arches have, posteriorly, two articulating synovial diarthrodial joints called facet joints. The facet joints’ surfaces are covered with articular cartilage and are enclosed by a syno­vial capsule. The facets prevent two adjacent vertebrae from translating during spinal motion, avoiding damage to the nerve roots and spinal cord. IVDs separate the upper 24 vertebral bodies, whereas the lower 9 are fused in adults. The IVDs and the facet joints provide the capacity for flexion and extension and to a lesser extent, rotation and lateral bending. Moreover, these facets share the load transmitted through the spine with the IVDs. The IVD is a fibrocartilaginous organ uniting two adja­cent vertebral bodies, contributing to the spine’s height and function (Fig. 1.2). The discs are named according to the upper and lower vertebrae they join. For example, the disc
situated between the thoracic vertebra T12 and the lumbar ver­tebra L1 is called T12–L1. The discs, in aggregate, make up approximately one fourth of the height of the spinal column excluding the sacrum and coccyx. essential for maintaining posture and for protecting delicate neural tissue and rigid structures of the vertebrae and skull during locomotion.

1.2 Development of the Intervertebral Disc
The internal structure of the disc has distinct anatomical regions of dierent developmental origin. These structures are traditionally separated into the central, gelatinous NP, the outer, fibrous AF, and the cartilaginous end plates.
Structures of the spinal column originate from the notochord and from the sclerotome of the mesodermal somites. There are four developmental stages to the formation of the vertebrae and discs. First, the notochord is formed from the mesoderm

during gastrulation. It is positioned in the dorsal region of the embryo, along the anteroposterior axis. The notochord consists of a flexible core of glycoprotein with high osmotic potential

surrounded by a sheath of fibrous connective tissue.
During the second stage, at the 4th week of development, cells of the sclerotome migrate around the notochord forming the verte­brae, cartilaginous end plate, AF, and ribs. In the ventromedial region, the notochord is segmented. Some sections are remod­eled to make way for the forming vertebral bodies, whereas others expand to form the NP, the gelatinous portion of the

notochordal tissue, forming the NP.
During the third stage, at 6 weeks, the vertebral parts of the spine undergo chondrogene­sis and become cartilaginous (Fig. 1.3). The fourth and final stage is ossification, which begins during the 8th week of the embryonic period and is completed around 25 years of age.
During fetal/early natal life, blood vessels penetrate the disc to the inner annulus. By the juvenile stage, the blood vessels resorb to the outer annulus and the cartilaginous end plates.

the nondegenerate adult disc, blood vessels are only seen in the connective tissue surrounding the AF and budding in the carti­laginous end plates. This lack of vascularity limits the flow of nutrients reaching the central region of the disc. Nerves follow
a similar pattern, penetrating only the outer AF in nondegener­ate adult discs (Fig. 1.4, Fig. 1.5).
1.3 Cells in the Intervertebral Disc
The overall cell density of the disc is fairly high in the fetal stage but decreases significantly with age, especially in the regions furthest from the periphery.
Cells of the NP are notochordal in origin. are large (> 15µm) and contain large vacuoles, NP cells are relatively small (10 um diameter) and display a rounded chondrocyte-like morphology. Multiple studies have demonstrated that cells of the mature human NP express dis­tinct notochordal markers, such as brachyury, further establish­ing the notochord as the developmental origin of NP cells. The vacuoles of notochord cells carry a multitude of anabolic factors suggested to induce matrix synthesis in neighboring cells. Notochordal cells disappear with age and are no longer

Fig. 1.3 Schematic representation of intervertebral disc development. At 22 days postconception the notochord forms on the ventromedial aspect of
the embryo, elongating along its craniocaudal axis. The neural groove closes to form the early spinal cord, positioned dorsally to the notochord along the same axis. These structures are flanked on each side by a row of somites. At 30 days postconception sclerotomal cells of the somites separate from myotomal cells and migrate around the notochord toward the midline. At the 4th to 6th embryonic week sclerotomal cells aggregate around the notochord and spinal cord. Segments of alternating high and low sclerotomal cell density form, giving rise to the early annulus fibrosus and vertebral bone, respectively. At the 7th to 9th embryonic week sclerotomal cells of the early vertebral bone expand, pushing away the notochord from the center of the vertebral body. Simultaneously, cells of the early annulus condense to allow space for the notochordal tissue exiting the vertebral body, giving rise to the nucleus pulposus region.
Annulus cells originate from the sclerotome, and are elon­gated and spindle shaped. They are arranged following the lamellaes orientation. Their diameter varies between 15 and

NP, AF, and cartilage end plate cells are, in addition to matrix synthesis, responsible for maintenance and turnover of the extracellular matrix (ECM), a process that is in balance in the young and nondegenerate disc.
1.4 Intervertebral Disc Organization and Composition
The discs distinct anatomical regions have dierent mechanical and biological properties. The AF and NP regions are clearly dis­tinguishable in fetal and juvenile discs but the clear demarca­tions diminish in the adult. The NP region expands in the adult disc into a transition region called the inner AF, and it can be dicult to establish where one region begins and the other ends (Fig. 1.2). The tissue regions contain similar matrix ele­ments, albeit in widely diering concentrations.

The discs
ECM is rich in collagen and proteoglycan. Collagen is a ubiqui­tous protein in mammalian connective tissue. Dierent types of collagen are present in varying amounts within the disc, but the most prominent by far are types I and II. Other collagens present within the mature, nondegenerate disc are types III, V, VI, IX, XI, XII, and XIV. cells and a three-dimensional (3D) mesh confining other matrix elements, such as proteoglycans. Proteoglycans exist in two forms within the disc, either bound to hyaluronic acid or unbound. The most abundant proteoglycan within the disc is aggrecan. In early development stages, most aggrecan within the disc is bound to hyaluronan, with a shift toward unbound forms in later stages of development. Other proteoglycans found in the discs ECM are versican and members of the small leucine rich protein (SLRP) family: chondroadherin, decorin, fibromodulin, and lumican. defined functions in the tissue and most of them carry

Decorin, fibromodulin, and lumican carry GAG chains. Decorin cross-links collagen fibers, whereas fibromodulin and lumican have highly negative sulfated tyrosine domains that bind cytokines and matrix

metalloproteinases.
Proteoglycans are made up of a core protein to which o ne or more GAG chains of highly sulphated repeating disacc haride units are covalently attached. Most proteoglycans have 1 or 2 GAG chains, whereas aggrecan has up to 150.
1.4.1 Nucleus Pulposus
The NPs structure is gelatinous and has high aggrecan content. This molecules many GAG chains contr ibute to water retention and provide swelling pressure through their fixed negative charges. Aggrecan is the greatest contributor to NP function by enabling it to resist compression. Aggrecan concentration is highest in the central portion of the NP and declines through­out the AF. The other matrix molecule primarily responsible for the mechanical function of the NP is collagen type II. Collagen provides a scaold entrapping aggrecan and other molecules and provides tensile properties to the tissue. Collagen and aggrecan make up 20% and 50% of the NPs dry weight, respec-

Peripherally, the NP is encircled by the AF.
1.4.2 Annulus Fibrosus
The function of the AF is to restrict lateral motion, as well as to prevent extrusion, of the nuclear material. To accomplish this, the collagen fibers of the mature annulus are arranged in up to 25 concentric lamellae wrapped around the NP. The lamellae are parallel to one another traversing between adjacent verte­brae at an angle of 60 degrees to the axis of the spine (Fig. 1.2). The collagen fibers within a single annular lamella are organized in a parallel fashion, whereas the fibers in adja­cent layers dier by 30 degrees. type I is highest in the annulus and decreases radially toward the NP. Collagen type II follows an inverse pattern with the highest concentration in the NP.
Proteoglycans, such as aggrecan, are present throughout the AF but at a concentration much lower than in the NP. Collagen makes up 50 to 70% of annular tissue dry weight and proteogly­cans only 10 to 20% of dry weight. network between the lamellae, contribute to the structure and mechanical functions of the AF.
